Since your laptop can have 1 GB I guess it is not a very old laptop.
It depends on the type of laptop you have, but it is usually pretty easy to change your memory.
If you look at the bottom of your laptop you might see some little screws.
Remove these and you see your 512MB chip.
You can click your new 512MB chip next to it.
I hope this helps.
Good luck.

That trouble accessing over the 4.7 Gigabytes on a DVD (extracting XS JPGS...) maybe because it would have to access the second layer of the DVD (obviously) Is that you can't access the "Upper" layer of a DVD with normal file accessing?

Yes, I couldn't access the second layer, but I think I should've been able to... Maybe it uses some sort of protection, as Xenogears did (you can't access most of it either), with nonstandard data tracks or something like that.

But i could access all the data in XG... maybe you can't do that with the original disc?
Yeah, most of the times incorrect track sizes are used as protection on DVD/CD's...

It really depends on where do you live, and who do you know. I got mine modded for ?120, chip included, which is about $130.

I'm thinking of modding my PS2 to play some of the Japanese and European games that get extras that we don't (Kingdom hearts Final Mix) About how much would it cost to get it modded?

Oh holy smart men of the Technical Thread, please attempt to cure my woes!
My computer screen is starting to fail on me. Any dark pixels have a shadow to the left and right of them. While it's not too much of an annoyance, is there a way to lower or remove the effects of this?

Hmm... you might try want to try these:
1. Right-click on your desktop (not on any icon), choose Properties to access the Display Properties. Go to the Configuration tab, click the Advanced Options button. Go to the Monitor tab, and select a different frequency. 60 Hz should always work, but try to use at least 72 in a 14/15" monitor and 85 in a 17/19" monitor to not damage your eyes. This problem might not happen with other frequencies.
When changing this and other settings, Windows will ask if you can see it correctly after applying. If you get a black screen, a messed up screen, a weird image, a double image, or anything unusual, or if you hear a very high-pitched sound, press the 'N' key immediately.
2. Some drivers add special tabs in the Advanced Options button of Display Properties. Within them, you might find extra options such as monitor centering or vertical/horizontal polarity. Try playing with them if you find them, though if you start to see anything wrong with a new setting, switch back to your previous settings immediately.
3. Try updating your display drivers to the last version. Some drivers might have bugs regarding the CRTC usage.
4. In Display Properties, before you click Advanced Options, you could change your system resolution, though I doubt you'll want to do this. Use it only if the other solutions don't do any good.
5. Last, but not least, try hitting your monitor. LOL. Not too hard, just a gentle hit. I'm not kidding, if some circuit in your monitor is loose or unstable, this might help.
Hope this helps...
